Well you could always go onto Google images and look it up but tortoises are animals with a hard shell on their back which look like an upside down bowl. They are reptiles and are sometimes slow but not often, with saggy dry skin. They are usually brownish in colour.

Yes and no. The term "dove" can actually refer to almost any bird in the dove and pigeon family (family Columbidae). Turtle doves are a species within that family.

What does a tortoise look like?

Tortoises or land turtles are land-dwelling reptiles of the family of Testudinidae, order Testudines. Like their marine cousins, the sea turtles, tortoises are shielded from predators by a shell. The top part of the shell is the carapace, the underside is the plastron, and the two are connected by the bridge. The tortoise has both an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton. Tortoises can vary in size from a few centimeters to two meters. Tortoises tend to be diurnal animals with tendencies to be crepuscular depending on the ambient temperatures. They are generally reclusive animals. hope it helps.............
